German company Kronos Media has just released vintage footage taken in Berlin right after World War II. The seven-minute video, color-restored and in high-definition, transports viewers to Berlin’s landmarks—like the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag Building—70 years ago. Also on view: a 1945 version of the German capital’s famous boulevard, Unter den Linden.
